we are tuning the S4 in with bigger turbos as we speak, I was having overboost issues in 1st and 2nd gear that night at atco, These new snails should be good for mid to low 11's on boost alone(1.5 bar) and a race chip! I should be back at Atco this week but its looking like friday nights are the best nights to go without having to deal w the gamblers racers!

WOW- 11.80, thats a strong run. What kind of boost are you running & do you have any idea of your plenum temps with your new intercooler?

very good but there is more to do

congrats on youre evo thats a good time,
we tune the evo's here in trinidad to do 11.4 1/4 mile with out nos
and full interior on unleaded pump gas. so there is alot that can be extracted from the 4g63 with out nos " laughing gas "

i think youre doing very well and look forward to youre development of the evo.

fastest un-official time was 9.8 1/4 mile with 200 shot of nos, C16 fuel, T66 turbo, 1000cc injectors, haltec ecu, MSD ignition.

will look to see if i can post some videos.

latters keep up the good work.

The timeslip is posted below.

Today's mission was proving the Pruven Performance intercooler - - it was 95 degrees at the track and humid like crazy so I knew it was going to be real hard to bust out any good numbers in the middle of a heat wave! Amazingly - there was zero heat soak and the heat did not effect my car at all.

Also - today I was testing the Perrin Short Shifter kit - which is a true work of art and helped me bust out some serious quick shifts

My mods - for anyone intersted - are:

Pruven Intercooler kit
Pruven fuel pressure regulator kit
Perrin short shifter
RMR 3" turbo back - intake and intercooler pipe kit
Greddy emamage
HKS EVCV
Quantum Racing exhuast manifold
HKS 264 cams
Zex wet kit - 50 shot
Walbro fuel pump

Amazingly - many items are still stock - which really shows what an amazing car the evo is :

Stock turbo
Stock injectors
Stock block and heads
Stock wheels
Stock CLUTCH!

Big thanks to AMS for getting me the very hard to find HKS cams - super big thanks to Pruven for putting them in so quickly and for helping me out with a super tune - and thanks to Perrin for hooking me up for the biggest secret weapon of them all - the Perrin Short Shifter which I was able to fully adjust to fit my arm throw and which shaved a lot of time off my slow shifts !

BTW the same night I ran this time - which I think is the quickest 1/4 mile time in an Evo VIII in the US right now - my fellow Nanuet, NY Sunday night meet attender Tommy ran his red evo for what appears to be the fastest Evo VIII 1/4 mile time in the US with a trap speed slightly faster than mine in the higher 118's

I can't tell you all what an amazing feeling it is to feel that Evo hooked up on a rail like that - - we wanted to try a few more runs but they threw us off the track for not having a roll cage. I always wanted to go so fast they threw me off had to wait till I got an evo to have that happen!!!

See you all in Ohio - peace

I was doing some research of some of the old days and I came across this now oldie but goodie!

I'm surprised the thread died so quickly back then, it was some pretty cool stuff at the time. I guess not as many members as today.
